Two Day Wilderness W.E.T. River Trips California Whitewater

Back in the seventies and early eighties, W.E.T. River Trips floated all the California river rafting rivers & did overnight stays that lasted two, three or more days. We hardly ever did one day trips on the American River Rafting. Most of our clientele had the time to stay with us for two days or more of rafting on the rivers of California.

One Day rafting trips became the norm through the nineties and California rafting became a rite of passage for most of you as you squeezed in a day of rafting in between busy lifestyles, kids activities and work related chaos. Most of you barely have time for a One Day rafting trip!

Well, the pendulum has swung back. Retro rules! Now many of you have re-evaluated your busy lifestyles and have come to the conclusion that these outdoor activities and adventures mean more to you than just working for that increase in your bottom line. You now make time for your family and friends. You get together with them for special gatherings and events. A lot of you are now asking for two day wilderness rafting trips that take you away from the campgrounds and busy areas of the river.

A wilderness rafting trip is an introduction into your self awareness and your awareness of the environment. Floating into the camp, stepping off onto a quiet, isolated beach and knowing that only you and this river rafting company will be on the whitewater camping trip, is a very different experience on the river. This is a true classic river trip!

Our parents went rafting, now it's our turn! Ask your Mom & Dad about teen rafting trips this summer!

The wilderness South Fork American two day package is ideal for families with children, teens and parents. Gather your loved ones together, including grandparents or active seniors for a unique experience on this California American River rafting adventure.

On both the South Fork American and the Middle Fork American, W.E.T. is proud to provide a truely unique experience for those of you who have done the two day American River rafting program at our camp site at Camp Lotus. You will be pleasantly surprised to "feel" a type of wilderness experience on a river that you have done before!

All gear goes down the river; so we ask that you keep your gear to 30 lbs per person. The gear travels in an oar-boat while the paddlers remain in the standard paddle boats. You will watch the magnificent oar-boat gently stroke the water while it manuevers expertly through the rapids with a mountain of gear. As we arrive into our camp late in the day, you will be suddenly aware of the absence of other rafters at the site! Strange feeling for the crowded and popular South Fork American River! And of course, the Middle Fork American canyon is isolation at its best.

ITINERARY for South Fork American Two Day Wilderness Trips

Typically meet at 9:00 am at Camp Lotus downstream from Coloma State Park just east of Sacramento, California off of Hwy 50 at the Shingle Springs exit.

Dry bags are issued and we ask that you limit your gear to 30 lbs per person. Please note that you will not see your cars until the end of the second day of rafting. From there, we will travel to the put-in site at Chili Bar Reservoir. We river raft the Chili Bar section for a few miles before lunch and then late in the day we arrive at a BLM (Bureau of Land Management) wilderness site. Guides will set up the kitchen while you scope out the camping sites on the beach. No one is there but us! That evening, lying under the stars, the quiet conversations, the sound of the river rapids and the gentle breeze on your face; you will be propelled into another world of introspective calm. This is California rafting at its best! The next morning, we start out for the Gorge section and arrive at the Salmon Falls take out around 4:30PM.

Camping, meals, tents, rafting gear and dry bags are included along with the shuttle and guide service.
